The Stir Up Your Routine campaign from Kahlúa is expanding to include the #KahluaStirItUpChallenge for couples, which challenges them to go 30 nights without Internet. To inspire a life of more playful moments, the brand is giving couples the chance to win $25,000 for going Internet-free.
It's estimated that almost half of Americans spend five to six hours a day on their phones and the average person will spend 76,500 hours (the equivalent of nearly nine years) on their mobile device over the course of their life. To help couples become closer and more present with one another without the distraction of technology, the #KahluaStirItUpChallenge has the potential to reward couples in more ways than one. Couples who are ready to shake up their evening routine are invited to enter online.
